Are there any great poets of today, or has the genre been diminished and over saturated with white girl poetry?

I doubt you have an actual interest in contemporary poetry if you are asking this.

I have great interest, just very little respect from what I’ve seen.

Maybe check out the woman who just won the Nobel for her poetry?

>great poets
this is decided decades after work is published. the retrospective judgement of "great" in literature takes too long to bear fruit for us to be asking who today's "greats" are.

MISS FECAL IS A REPULSIVE SCHIZOPATH WITH NO SENSE OF BEAUTY, OR DIVINITY; IF YOU READ THE MORBID CHIMERAS THAT SHE RENDERS INTO TEXT, AND THINK: «THIS IS GOOD; SHE IS A GOOD POET», YOU ARE AS ILL AS SHE IS.

Charles Simic and Anne Carson were recently in the news as nobel snubs. They have good poetry. How much Ashbery have you read? If not much, you'd better get on that shit, because he is next on the canonization agenda.

A retarded take, Pope, Shakespeare, Byron etc. were all considered greats in their time

>> No.16589809

this may sound strange but every time I've gone to listen to poetry live (3 times) it has been really great. it's very different hearing the writer read their own work.

the tiger is loose poem is the only thing that comes to mind.
